Directions
1Add vegetables to slow cooker
2Add bacon and cut, raw sausages
3Combine tomatoes, BBQ sauce, and just half a cup of water and pour over
4Cook on low for 4.5hrs
5Add the remaining 1 cup of water (hot) and raw pasta. The additional water will be absorbed by your pasta during cooking
6Cook on low for an additional 40mins or until pasta is cooked to your liking.
7Just keep an eye on it during this stage as if your cooker is hotter than others it may need extra water but just add 1/2 cup at a time if you think it's needed.
8Stir through tasty cheese then serve
9Top with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for a complete one pot meal for the whole family

This recipe appears in the ‘Slow Cooker for Kids’ book, so Master Ten made it last night. It was a hit from the point of view of it’s simplicity and also it’s flavour. He was very proud of himself and we scored the dish 8/10, and he’s keen to make it again!

Tried this tonight, it was good but not 100% for my liking. Partner loved the sausages. I added about 1tsp of beef stock powder as I thought it need a little extra flavour.
Even though it wasnt for my liking I will remember it for when our little man starts eating slow cooker meals ☺️

I to was skeptical about this dish but this is now a goto recipe for me. My toddler likes it, I can pack it with vegies and I enjoy eating it.

Yummy! I was a little skeptical about this one but man I was wrong. This was delicious. I used all the left over veggies from the fridge, just normal Aldi pork sausages and I forgot the cheese and it was delicious!

If I’m making this now for tomorrow night, should I add cheese today or before serving

This recipe worked really well. Quick and easy to prep, it makes a good weekday dinner. I used diced carrots, capsicum, cauliflower, and celery as my vegetables and the family loved it. I’ll make this again.

Cooked this the other night. One of the simplest slow cooker recipes that I’ve made! I used fresh veg (diced carrot) initially – then added thawed frozen peas and finely chopped spinach when I added the pasta (to keep their colour and texture).
Simple flavours – was a hit with my husband and 3 year old! Will definitely make this again.
I did need an extra 1/2 cup of water towards the end. In future I would cook for 3.5 hours on low then add the pasta, as my slow cooker seems fairly hot.
